and Charleston would have been an enjoy
able one but for the constant yelling on the
part of the audience, which took special de-
light in objecting to Umpire Atkinson's

played well in the field and also at the bat.
but Mobiles intield was very lively and held
their opponents well down. 1t was a fly
catching game from the start, Mobile taking
in twelve flies and Charleston fourteen.
Kelly was hit pretty freely, and Smith al
most as bad. Errors were few, but runs
were made on every one. Charleston devel-

to three singles and base on balls Both
sides did nice base running. Errors by Sa-
